cdecimal 2.3

Fast drop-in replacement for decimal.py

Please note: cdecimal has been integrated into CPython 3.3, where it
supersedes the pure Python version: import decimal will automatically
import the C version. Performance has been improved further, so the
cdecimal version shipped with CPython 3.3 is significantly faster for
numerical workload than cdecimal-2.3. If you need maximum decimal
computing performance, you should solely use that Python version.

cdecimal is a fast drop-in replacement for the decimal module in Python’s
standard library for Python versions 2.5 up to 3.2. It provides a complete implementation of Mike Cowlishaw/IBM’s General Decimal Arithmetic Specification.
